Stephen’s god died on the longest day of the year…

Three years later, Stephen is a broken paladin, living only for the chance to be useful before he dies. But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now the pair must navigate a web of treachery, beset on all sides by spies and poisoners, while a cryptic killer stalks one step behind…

From the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author of Swordheart and The Twisted Ones comes a saga of murder, magic, and love on the far side of despair.

reviewed Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher (The Saint of Steel, #1)

Great worldbuilding, easy reading

I stayed up all night to finish this because I couldn’t put it down. I’d never read a T. Kingfisher book so I wasn’t expecting so much romance and fluff, but I wasn’t displeased with it. The writing was good—it me got completely hooked—but there were quite a lot of errors that the editor somehow didn’t catch? It made it feel a tiny bit less professional.

I was really disappointed with how the mystery was concluded though. It felt like the book was ramping up to something really climactic, only for it to be like, “Actually, turns out it was a totally different thing that was completely unrelated, oops!” at the last minute.
